Ielts speaking Part 1 Walking, Shopping, Laugh and Sport

I'm not one for going on really long walks in the countryside, but I don't mind walking when I'm in a town or city, for example when I'm sightseeing in a new place.

Yes, I think it's important to be active, and walking is the most basic physical activity that we can do.

Personally, no. As I said before, I like walking in the city, especially if it's somewhere with a lot of history like x or y. I've done quite a lot of walking in those cities.

I suppose the main issues are space and safety. Pavements need to be wide enough to accommodate lots of pedestrians, and we need safe places to cross the street.

There isn't one person who does most of the shopping. I'd say it's a shared responsibility because we tend to go shopping together as a family.

I quite like shopping for presents for people's birthdays or for Christmas. My favorite type of shop would have to be a bookshop.

Yes, it's very popular. Saturday is the busiest shopping day, and lots of people treat shopping as a kind of leisure activity, rather than something practical.

I'm not an expert on teenage behavior, but I guess they like buying clothes, music, gadgets... that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to do any sports or physical activities because of my work commitments. I'd like to find more time for regular exercise.

I'd like to be good at tennis. It must be great to be able to hit the ball as hard as you can and watch it land exactly where you wanted it to.

I don't watch much sport on TV and I'm not a big sports fan, so I think I would probably enjoy doing sports more than watching them.

Yes, I think that sport is really important for children. Sports and games teach children to play together and try their best.

I laugh most when I'm with friends talking about funny things that have happened to us. I also like watching comedians and comedy films.

Yes, it's a nice feeling when you can make someone laugh because you can see that you've made them happy. It's great to share a funny moment with someone.

Yes, of course. It's important to see the funny side of things; humor helps us not to take life too seriously. I think that laughter is good for our health.

It's not exactly the same because you can be happy without laughing, and sometimes we laugh when something bad has happened; a sense of humor can help us to cope with difficult situations.
